Vinea: Tapas and Wine Bar

Vinea, at the Albert Dock, is a speciality wine shop and delicatessen, offering a fantastic selection of artisan cheeses, breads and olives. Located certainly in a stunning location, this accommodates a large shop on one side of the room, and cosy bar with sofas on the other, and doors flung open at the back overlooking one of the Albert Dock’s quays.

Founded by husband and wife team, James and Karen McGrory, Vinea (which is latin for vineyard) is almost 10-year old. The restaurant has become so popular that you will find it difficult to get a table without reservation. We were lucky to get a table for four overlooking the quays.
